TOD days passed, and Tudor seemed loath to leave the hos pitality of Berande. Every thing was ready for the start, but he lingered on, spending much time In Joan's company and thereby increasing the dislike Sheldon had taken to him. He went swimming with her, in point of rashness exceed ing ber, and dynamited fish with her, diving among the hungry ground sharks and -rentes ting with them for possession of the stunned prey, until he earned the approval of the whole Tahiti an crew. Arahu challenged him to tear a fish from a shark's Jaws, leav ing half to the shark and bringing the other half himself to the surface, and Tudor performed the feat, a flip from the sandpaper hide ef the astonished shark scraping several inches of skin from his shoulder. And Joan was de lighted, while Bheidon, looking on, re alized that here was the hero of her adventure dreams coming true. She did not care for love, but he felt that if ever she did love, it would be that sort of a man "a man who exhibited,' was his way of putting it. He felt himself handicapped In the presence ef Tudor, who had the gift ef making a show of all his Qualities. Sheldon knew himself for a brave man. wherefore he made no advertisement of the fact Life pulsed steadily and deep in blm, and it was not his nature needlessly to agitate the surface so thatf the world could see the splash he was making. And the effect of the other's amazing exhibitions was to make him retreat more deeply within himself and wrap himself more thick ly than ever in the nerveless, stoical calm of his race. You are so stupid the last few days," Joan complained to him. You dont seem to have an idea In your head above black labor and cocoa nuts. What is the matter?" Sheldon smiled and beat a farther retreat within himself, listening the while to Joan and Tudor propounding the theory of the strong arm by which the white man ordered life among the lesser breeds. As he listened Sheldon realized, as by revelation, that that was precisely what he was doing. While they philosophized about it be was living it. But why talk about it? It was sufficient to do It and be done with it. He said as much, dryly and quietly, and foand himself involved in a dis cussion, with Joan and Tudor siding against him. The lankees talk a lot about what they do and have done." Tudor said, "and are looked down upon by the English as braggarts. But the Yankee is only a child. He does not know ef fectually how to brag. He talks about it. you see. But the Englishman goes him one better by not talking about It. The Englishman's proverbial lack of bragging Is a subtler form of brag, after alL" T never thought of It before,' Joan cried. "Of course. An Englishman performs soma terriilcaHv .heroic ex ploit and is very modest and reserved, refuses to talk about it at an, and the effect I that by his silence he as much as says: 'I do things like this every day. It is as easy as rolling off a log. Ton ought to see the really heroic things 1 con id -do if they ever came my way.' Confess, Mr. Bheidon, don't you feel proud down inside when you've done something daring or coura geous?" ' Sheldon nodded. "Then," she pressed home the point, "Isn't disguising that pride under a mask of careless Indifference equiva lent to telling a Hef Tea, It ia," he admitted. "But we tell similar lies every day. It la a mat ter of training, and the English are better trained, that is alL Tour coun trymen wilt be trained as well in time. Am Mr. Tndor said, the Xankees are young. Certainly we are prend Inside of the things we do and have done proud as Lucifer, yea, and prouder. But we have grown up and no longer talk about such things.' "I surrender." Joan cried. "Ton saw not so stupid after ail" "Tea, you have us there," Tudor ad mitted. "But yon wouldn't have had us If yon hadnt broken joar training rules." "How do yen mean?" "By talking about it." Joan clapped her hands m approval. Tudor lighted a fresh cigarette, while Sheldon sat on, imperturbably sCent Joan was looking intently across the compound and out to sea. They fol lowed her gaze and saw a green light and the loom of a vessel's sails. "I wonder if it's the Martha come back," Tudor hazarded. "Nothe sidelight is too low," Joan answered. "Besides, they've got the sweeps out. Don't yon hear them? They wouldn't be sweeping a big Tea sel like the Martha." "Besides, the Martha has a gasoline engine twenty-flie horsepower," Tu dor added. "Just the sort of a craft for us," Joan said wistfully to Sheldon. T really must see If 1 cant get a schoon- Ler with an engine. 1 might get a sec ond hand engine put In. If you were not so medieval I could be skipper and save more than the engineer's wages." He did not reply to her thrust and she glanced at him. He was looking out over the water, and in the lantern light she noted the lines of his face Btrong, stern, dogged, the mouth al most chaste, but firmer and thinner lipped than Tudor's. For the first time she realized the quality of his strength, the calm and quiet of It, Its simple in tegrity and reposeful determination. She glanced quickly at Tudor on the other side of ber. It was a handsomer face, one that was more Immediately pleasing. , But she did not like the mouth. It was made for kissing and she abhorred kisses. For the moment she knew a fleeting doubt of the man. Perhaps Sheldon was right In hia judg ment of the other. She did not know, and It concerned her Utile; for boats and the sea and the things and hap penings ef the sea were of far more vital interest to ber than men, and the next moment she was staring through the warm tropic darkness at the loom of the sails and the steady green of the moving sidelight and listening ea gerly to the click of the sweeps In the rowlocks. Nor did she take interest In the two men beside her till both lights, red and green, came Into view as the anchor checked the onward way. "If the Minerva," Joan said decid edly. "How do you know?" Sheldon asked, skeptical of her certitude. "Irs a ketch to begin with. And. be sides, I could tell anywhere the rattle of ber main peak blocks they're too large for the halyard." A dark figure crossed the compound diagonally from the beach gate, where "IT'S THE JECTEBVA," JOAJI SATO DBCEO KDZ.T. whoever it was had been watching the j TesseL "Is that you. TJtamir Joan ealled. "No, Missie; me Matapuu," was the j answer. "What vessel Is it?" "Me tlnk Minerva." Joan looked triumphantly at Shel don, who bowed. "If Matapuu says so it must be so," he murmured. "But when Joan Lackland says so you doubt." she cried, "Just as you doubt her ability as a skipper. But never mind, youll be sorry some day for all jour un kindness. There's the WATSON.

Reese boat lowering now, and In five minutes well be shaking hands with Cbrtatiaa Young." LaJapero brought out the glasses and cigarettes and the eternal whisky and soda, and before the five minutes yrere past the gate clicked and Christian Young, tawny and golden, gentle of voice and look and hand, cam op tba bungalow steps and joined them. , News, aa usual, Xoaag bronglrt ' news of drinking at Gurutn, where the men boasted that they drank be tween drinks; news that the Matambo had gone oa a reef in the Shorthands and would be laid off one--run for re pairs, t "That means five weeks more before you can sail for Sydney," -Sheldon said to Joan. "And that we are losing precious time," she added ruefully. "If you want to go to Sydney the Upota sails from Tulagi tomorrow aft ernoon," Young ' said, "and you can catch her as late as 6 tomorrow after noonat least so her first officer told me." "But Fve got te go to Guwta first" Joaa looked at the men with a whim sical expression, "I've some shopping to do. I can't wear these Beracde curtains Into Sydney. I must buy cloth at Guvutu and make myself a dress during the voyage down. TU start immediately in an hour. Lala pero, you bring m one fella Afiamu Adam along ma Tell m that fella Ornflrl make m' kai-kal take along whaleboat" She rose to her feet, look ing at Sheldon, "And you, please. have the boys carry down the whale boat my boat, you know. Ill be off la an hour." "m go over with- you," Sheldon, an nounced. "Let me run you over In the Mi nerva," said Xormg. She shook her head laughingly. Tn going In the whaleboat. Ton, Mr. Sheldon, as my partner, I cannot permit te desert Berande and your work out of a mistaken notion of cour tesy. And as for you. Captain Toung, you know very well that you just left Ouvutn this morning, that you are bound for Marau and that yon said yourself that In two hours you are getting under way again." "But may I not see yon safely across?" Tudor asked, a pleading note In his voice that rasped en Sheldon's nerves. "No, no, and -again nor she cried. "You've all got your work to do, and so have L I came to the Solomons to work, not to be escorted about like a dolL For that matter, here's my es cort, and there are seven more tike him," Adams Adam stood beside ber, tow ering above her, as he towered above the three white men. "We start in an hour tn the whale boat for Guvutu, big brother," Joan said to him. "Tell your brothers, an of them, so that they can get ready. We catch the TJpolu for Sydney. Leave the guns behind. Turn them over to Mr. Sheldon. We wont need them," "If you are really bent upon go ing" Sheldon began. "That's settled krag ago," she an swered shortly. Tm going to pack now." An hour later the three men hsd shaken hands with Joan down on the beach. She gave the signal, and the boat shoved off, six men at the oars, the seventh man for'ard and Adamu Adam at the steering sweep. Joan was standing up in the stern sheets reiterating ber goodbys, a slim figure of a woman In the tight fitting jacket she had worn ashore from the wreck, the long barreled Colt's revolver hang ing from the loose belt around her waist, her clear cut face like a boy's under the Stetson hat that failed to conceal the heavy masses of hair be neath. "You'd better get Into shelter she called to them. "There's a big squall coming, and I hope you've got plenty of chain out. Captain Young. Goodby! Goodby, everybody!" Her last words came oat of the dark ness, which wrapped itself solidly about the boat. Yet they continued to stare into the blackness in the direc tion in which tbe boat had disappear ed, listening to the steady click of the oars in the rowlocks until It faded away and ceased. "She is only a girl," Christian Young said with slow solemnity. The discov ery seemed to have been made oa the spur of the moment. "She is onlv a rgiri," he repeated with greater solem nity. "A dashed pretty one and a good traveler," Tudor laughed. "She cer tainly has spunk, eh, Sheldon?" "Yes. she is brave," was the reluc tantanswerfijr .Sheldon. dld not feel q Today They are made of fine white lawn, with soft col lars and cuffs and good buttons, today, 85 cents.

" ' They gained the veranda, where tbey sat fa silence ever their whisky, each man staring straight out to sea, where the wildly swinging riding right ef the MLterva could be. seen in the lulls of the driving rata. An hour later Christian Young stood up. knocked out his pipe and prepared to go aboard and get under way. "She's all right," he said, apropos of nothing spoken and yet distinctly rele vant to what was In each of their mtnds. "She's got a good boats crew, and shes a sailor herself. With this favoring bit ef breeze she has sail on already, and she'll make Guvutu by daylight. Good night" "I guess 111 turn tn, old man," Tu dor said, rising and placing hia glass on the table. "111 start the first thing In the morning, rfs been disgraceful the way Fve been hanging on here. Goodnight." , Sheldon, sitting en alone, wondered If the other man would have decided to pull out in the morning had Joan not sailed away. Well, there was one bit of consolation In It Joan bad cer tainly lingered at Berande for no man, not even Tndor. It waa sot very flat tering, but what could any man count In her eyes when a schooner waiting to be, bought in Sydney was in ths wind? fWhat a creoturel What a crea ture J Berande was a lonery place to Shel don In the days that followed. In the morning after Joan's departure he had seen Tudor's expedition off on its way up tbe Balesuna, in the late afternoon through bis telescope he bad seen the smoke of the Fpolu that was bearing Jean away to Sydney, and In the even ing he found himself standing staring at the nail upon which from tbe first she had hung her Stetson hat and her revolver belt. Why should he care for her? be de manded ef himself angrily. Never had he encountered one who had so thoroughly irritated him, rasped his feelings, smashed his conventions and violated nearly every attribute of what had been his Ideal of woman. But he loved her. That was the pornt of It all, and he did not try to evade It He was not sorry that It was so. He leved her. That waa the overwhelming, astounding fact Once again he discovered a big en thusiasm for Berande. It must suc ceed not merely because Joan was a partner In It, but because he wanted to make that partnership permanently binding. Three more years and the plantation would be a splendid paying Investment. They could then take yearly trips to Australia and oftener, and an occasional run home to Eng landor Hawaii would come as a matter of course. He undertook more clearing ef bush, and clearing and planting went on un Aer hie personal supervision at a faster pace than ever before, ne experi mented with premiums for extra work performed by the black boys and yearned continually for more of them to put to work. Blacks he must have, and if Joan were fortunate in getting a schooner three months st least mnt elapse before the first recruits could be landed on Berande. COTTTfNU ED HWXT 6 UNO AY.
